Friday Flash 55.....



It was always the last one chosen.
Much like yourself as a child when sides were picked for Dodge Ball.
But it did have it's moments!
Like the time it was the first to purchase Park Place, then rolled a Deuce
to secure Boardwalk.
Now after 84 years....Replaced by a Kitty?
(The Scottie Dog is growling.........)


If you or anyone you know has been replaced or has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment......Then BOOK!
So from the most Monopolized host from coast to coast
Have a Kick Ass Week-End...

    Hey, I've always been a cat person instead of a dog person.

    But I've also had a tendency to "root for the underdog", so I'm torn!

    Thanks for another Friday 55!
    Mine's here. :)

    G, you are always on top with the social commentary. How sad for the iron to hit the skids after finally making it to the top of the pile. And why a kitty? Where is the hamster?? How about the frog?

    Personally I always liked the iron because it was a hot item.

    Agh! Is the Iron gone! The cute little Iron! (I'm actually phobic of irons though I use them constantly.) Subject for a poem.

    I'm in - and early!

    I never understood why have an iron, and the kitty is adorable. So why does this make me sad? Nostalgia is a bitch.

    Replacing the iron with a cat is one thing, but Park Place and Boardwalk? Whatever happened to Park Lane and Mayfair? ... smiles

    Getting rid of Scotty was fekkin sacrilege. Getting Rid of the iron is just desecration.

    I always picked the iron. Partly, I suppose because of the underdog factor but also because I like the way it felt in my hand. I suppose all things must change.

    The death of a poet leaves a hole in the world. This is for Seamus Heaney.

    Oops, I see I misunderstood. It is the IRON that is replaced by the kitty. Well, that is okay then. Who irons anymore anyway? LOL.

    What a strange replacement! Does the cat sleep on the clothes?

    Invited back, I came. Didn't like getting the iron much in monopoly but didn't like the ship much either. I'd play with the cat or the dog if we ever pulled out that board any more. I didn't see the prompt prior to so here's my latest 55 - the third I've done to Ms. Judith Clay's whimsical artwork- this one I call JOURNALISTS. Thanks G-Man!

    Mine's goofy and romantic and I opt not to share it. But thanks for the inspiration!
    Why couldn't they have just added the cat instead of taking away the Scotty dog? I'm all for fair play!
